I agree. I hate the back of this phone. I think the leather look is really nice.
I hate it so bad, that after seeing it, I want to get another moto x.
Oh well, ugly won't slow down the bazillions that will buy it because of the name.

Haha.... that's so funny but it gave me a great idea. So I'm going to suggest to Samsung to partner with Band Aid to do a promotion. There are so many songs about Band Aids and they are good. Samsung has had Band Competition and used them to promote new up and coming bands. They've also sponsored Special Olympics at their own cost along with supporting the Jamaican Bobsled Team in the Sochi Winter Olympics. So why not put that Copper Gold Galaxy S5 look to work for them. Have a Global Band Aid Contest to Discover New Bands!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVape0kGNF0

There's even a Kpop Kdubstep review channel on YouTube that talks about Band Aids. It's funny too..... Samsung could take this Band Aid thing, hire Pixie Lott and other singers with songs about Band Aids, so they shove the Band Aid comment down all you Appleholic iDiot's throats. Besides..... I'm going to laugh if they change up the back cover design for when it goes on sale. Which should shut you all right up! lol.... not to mention I think they should really make a green one with an Android eating an Apple on it! ;-P

Samsung killed it with their commercials on the Oscars tonight. Whether you like them or not, they know how to market their stuff well to the masses. And that's what they target, the masses. Not us on this site, we are the few, the very few.

Who you mean the storage issue.. Early news was that less than 8gb of the 16gb was available but new news have shown that it comes with 10.7gb which is more than the s4 9gb.not bad and not too far behind the nexus 5 which has 12gb.i would happily give up 1-2gb built in storage for sd caed

samsung gotta give it to em their commercials are so amazing,its a shame they don't give a lot of credit to the folks that slaved over it for months.probably make it up to them in paychecks, but aside from that they rope ,millions by the commercials alone but its up to us to look into specs and compare("we are the few"-fellow androidcentral peeps),. i was gonna get an htc one, i wanted it over all the other phones i was comparing: moto x, G2 , nexus , and the sony phones as well, till i saw the specs for the note 3 and it won me over. so its all about preference

Samsung and their products don't instil any excitement for me. Personally I don't need to see this.
Nothing to write home about as far as I can see. Great products for some, worthy upgrades for others but my money will be spent elsewhere.

I'm posting this comment from my Samsung laptop, which I love, but as pretty as these commercials are, I wouldn't be caught dead with a Galaxy phone. If I do end up replacing my HTC One, it'll likely be with the all new HTC One.
